Eli's MLB Rumors:
The Phillies are showing interest in free agent lefty Will Ohman. The Phillies lost J.C. Romero for the first fifty games of the season, so they will have to rely on Scott Eyre as their main lefty out of the pen. Adding Ohman, who went 4-1 with a 3.68 ERA in 83 games last season, would give the Phillies more options out of the pen.
Ohman was originally seeking a two year deal worth about 4 million dollars annually, but might need to settle for a one year deal plus incentives.
